I've been seeing these interesting characters lately more and more and with a little googling I found out it was from something called Homestuck. What is it? A comic, a game? I've noticed that the characters are zodiacs, what's up with that. I'd really like someone to help explain this to me.
Well, it's an extremely complicated web comic. It starts kind of slow, and that is what turns some people of it, but if you just keep reading it picks up the pace. Some of the fans are incredibly obnoxious, but most of us are polite. It gets a bad wrap on the internet, I'm not quite sure why, but if you like it, don't let them make you feel bad. About the zodiac signs, one of the alien species called 'trolls' wear a sign one their shirts. If you need anything else explained, the wiki is a very good place to start: [link]
It is a long but really interesting webcomic. It takes devotion but is worth it in the long run. The fandom is really fun! It has more normal sides and..... the not so normal sides [link]
Homestuck is... complicated. It's considered a game, but it's more like an interactive comic; and boy, it's huge! Took me a week to read it from head to toe, and that was last year. But otherwise, it's like a crazy acid trip while listening to dubstep, cause it has nearly everything, from tons of text, GIFs, little videos and interactive parts, yet crazy enough it quite makes sense once you read the first 20000 pages.
An overly convoluted webcomic that would make Stephen Hawking's brain melt. I don't know how the fans keep up with half the nonsense going on. There's like 3 versions of each of the characters, of which there must be at least 30 (I just stopped counting), sometimes they die, then they come back for.. whatever reason. There's apparently some kind of blood weaknesses or something with the "troll" characters and...I just don't fuckin' get it myself.
I mostly just don't like it because the style burns my eye sockets.
